Time has revealed that Google supplies the Israeli Ministry of Defense with cloud computing services via a US$1.2b contract with the entire Israeli government via something they internally called Project Nimbus. This was done prior to the war in Gaza, but since then, the Israeli military has spent over a US$1m on Google's consulting services to expand their use of Google's cloud services. A group of Google employees are understandably upset about this and staged a protest at their offices in New York and California resulting in 9 of them being arrested. Now Google has fired 28 employees that participated in the protest, saying "behavior like this has no place in our workplace and we will not tolerate it". Normally I'd throw in my 2c at the end of the paragraph, but that quote speaks for itself, doesn't it?
